<p>(Top Left) desired topology. (Top Right) Fitness vs. Generations. (Bottom) 11 examples of parent (top) – offspring (bottom) pairs. The neuronal copying algorithm is capable of sustaining evolution by natural selection to optimize the topology of a 10-node motif. Desired topology on the top left (randomly initialized with 10% connectivity). Fitness (Euclidean distance between desired and actual topology) of parent (blue) and offspring (red) over 600 generations. Bottom graphs shows 11 parent-offspring pairs taken at intervals of 50 generations.
